What’s happening to investments makes one cringe, if an attempt is made to understand it. With our naivete, we never could comprehend how stock markets worked completely, despite taking several economics courses. It didn’t bother much, though, because we never really had enough to affect us any to speak of.

Lying is commonplace, and now it is evidently even being encouraged. Aftermath of the recent election revealed that much ridicule and many of the promises, claims and counter-claims were lies. However, that’s all fine and dandy, according to man-made rules. Be a politician, say whatever you want (true or false), and the laws don’t apply.

It wasn’t quite the burning desire of having a horse, but hunting was right up with fishing in our anticipation of activity as a youngster. Because (TV) cowboys always had a gun on their hip, that was our style, as well. We’d seldom be seen without a pistol
and holster strapped on and drawstring tied tight. We had several play rifles, too.

They’re at the garage door, in the mudroom, through the kitchen, into the office and beyond. Not only do they make appearance known by hopping around the rooms, but obvious chirps reveal whereabouts as well.
